I loved our Wine Tasting! We were a lively group and she appreciated our enthusiasm for wine and each other! Even on Zoom, it felt like our Wine Consultant was in the room with us.”

AngelinaFrom WA.

I have hosted several Tastings at my house and attended others at friends' houses. WineShop has helped me expand my palate and get to know different varietals that were outside of my comfort zone.”

SarahFrom MO.

WineShop At Home is a fantastic experience both in-home and virtual. I have tried another company in the past and the wines being selected were not my palate and I felt like I was wasting money. WineShop has helpful guidance, Consultants and overall experience. They make it easier than going to the store and trying to figure out wine!"

JenniferFrom CA.

I absolutely loved hosting a Virtual Wine Tasting with my Wine Consultant. She was very detailed and knowledgeable about the product. I could host a Tasting for 10 people at an affordable price. The wine was great! I will definitely be a loyal customer not only for the wine, but the service provided.”

TaNeidraFrom NC.

Hosting a WineShop At Home Tasting is so easy and so much fun. My friends and I have the best time with our super knowledgeable Wine Consultant and we take turns hosting a couple times a year. And the fact the wines are SO GOOD is just the icing on the cake. I went from being ‘not a wine person’ to ‘I really love my WineShop wines!’”

StaciFrom GA.

Wine Tastings have become one of my favorite events to host for so many reasons! It’s a great time and who doesn’t love spending time with your loved ones or friends while eating great apps and drinking amazing wine?”

AlonnaFrom CO.

I love all of the different Tasting options and themes. I’ve hosted three times now. Each event has been unique and I learn something new about wine every time. Not to mention, the wines are absolutely delicious! It’s a great way to gather friends together.”

ChristineFrom CO.

WineShop At Home provides the perfect excuse to throw a party! It’s a great time to get together with family & friends and catch up or make new memories while sampling delicious wines. It’s also pushed me to try different wines and expand my palate. My Wine Consultant is the best! She provides great information about the wines and the company and is always quick with a great food pairing. Plus, she is just fun to host a party with!”

FAQs

How do I book a Wine Tasting?

Click or tap “Book Now” on this page and we’ll get to work connecting you with a Wine Consultant in your area. If you already know a Wine Consultant, your booking request will be sent to them. Once you’ve connected with your Wine Consultant, they will confirm your Wine Tasting type (virtual or in-home), confirm your Wine Tasting Sampler choice (optional for Virtual Tastings) and help organize, set up and lead your Wine Tasting.

If there isn't a Wine Consultant near me, can I still host a Wine Tasting?

You can host a Virtual Wine Tasting! Your Wine Consultant can virtually guide you and your guests through the Wine Tasting via Skype, Zoom, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, etc. The optional Wine Tasting Sampler is shipped directly to you, so a Virtual Tasting is a fun & simple way to taste, no matter where you or your Wine Consultant is located.

Does it cost anything to host a Wine Tasting?

Your Wine Tasting Sampler includes 6 bottles of wine to share and all of your other amazing Host Perks for $59.95 plus tax. Ground shipping is included. That’s an average total retail value of over $150! For a Virtual Wine Tasting, the Sampler purchase is optional.

How do I choose a Sampler?

You will partner with your Wine Consultant who will guide you in selecting the right Wine Tasting Sampler for you and up to 16 guests. There are 4 different options to choose from that range in taste profiles. The wines in each Sampler vary and change from month to month due to their limited production.

Should I provide food pairings for my Tasting?

Simple pairings are best. No need to provide a full spread or turn the oven on (unless you want to!). Here’s what we recommend to pair with your Sampler:

Water
Crackers or bread
Milk & dark chocolates
Grapes or strawberries
Three kinds of cheese:
– Mild – Havarti or Brie
– Medium – Gouda or dry Cheddar
– Strong – Parmesan or blue cheese

How long does the Tasting take?

An average In-Home Wine Tasting from start to finish is approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Virtual Tastings are approximately 40 minutes to 1 hour. Remember though, time flies when you’re having fun!

If my friends can't make it, are they still able to order?

Absolutely! Your Wine Consultant will walk you through how they can place an order if they are unable to make it. Your guests’ orders and bookings often count towards your Host Perks, so encourage your guests to make their selections at the Tasting or very soon after it.

What do I get for hosting?

As our way of saying thank you for Hosting a Wine Tasting, you’re eligible for lots of amazing perks that celebrate your good taste. Here’s what’s included when you host:

1. If you host a Tasting, you will earn 100 Points if there is a minimum of 1 guest order, a minimum of $200 in total Tasting Volume and if the Tasting has concluded

3. Included with every 12 bottles purchased at your Tasting, select a bottle (up to $35 value) for $8.99
